I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Gatos, CA) in Aug 2009
Interview
Talked with a couple recruiters and went through an initial 15-minute phone screening with a few of the designers. The Netflix campus is tucked away inside of a luxury apartment complex in Los Gatos. Very strange atmosphere. My initial impression of the office was that I was visiting an apartment leasing office. On the day of the interview, I met with the design director, another designer, and product manager. Presented some of my work and we went through an exercise tossing around ideas to improve a section of the site. We whiteboarded for 15 minutes, then I had 30 minutes to myself to put together polished sketches. Once my time was up, I presented 4 different design solutions and walked through my thought process. Right as the interview was wrapping up, the design director informed me they were going to pass because she wanted out of the box thinking (2 of my concepts were based on the whiteboarding session we just had, the other 2 had already been pitched to Netflix by outside design agencies - unbeknownst to me). Tough interview. Good luck.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Netflix
Interview
Was contacted about the job opening and after several calls with the hiring manager and recruiter, they brought me in for an in-person interview. The interview was a panel portfolio session followed by a product brainstorm session. Brainstorm went well, but got grilled during the presentation portion. Good luck, it was brutal.
